Homemaking Mondays: Fresh Air Through My Kitchen Window

 

Hello!

I stood at my kitchen window

and breathed in a deep breath of fresh air.

The breeze was blowing in through

the kitchen window 

bringing with it the cool scents of the forest.

The smell of the lake

and the seasons changing greenery.

Have you smelled the forest

and noticed those subtle changes in the trees?
The frost have started here 

and nature is preparing for fall to come.

Some blankets are drying on the line

and make me smile to see them fluttering

in the breeze.

It's time to start freshening up the bedding

before it's too cold to do so. 

Well...not impossible

but it's a lot more work

to dry and freshen things on the line

when the weather is cold.

I was out for a drive with my husband 

and we were noticing how the trees 

are beginning to change into

the cheerful fall colours.

Soon there will be leaves on the breeze.

This week I made some salmon patties with 

leftover salmon. 

I added some parmesan / marble cheese

along with a couple eggs.

They fried up nice and crispy and delicious.

I love how you can make these with any meat

so it can use up leftovers well.

Even though I'm not eating bread 

at this time,

my family still enjoys fresh bread.

I still love having the grain mill

to make fresh flour

and the little bowl I found is the 

perfect size for the amount of flour I need.

Interesting how this simple tool brings me 

such satisfaction.

What are some of your favourite tools

in your kitchen?

As gardening comes to an end

in my neck of the woods

the root veggies are being pulled.

True you can leave them in the ground

much longer.

Although I'm not a fan of pulling them 

with freezing fingers.

Below are the last of our carrots.

My husband took me on a nice 

day trip adventure this week 

back into the mountains.

It was such a beautiful day!

Following the good news of us being about to stay here,

I've begun unpacking. 

Not everything but just those things

that I know we shall be using through 

the winter months. 

My bookshelves are ready 

and so is my sewing/ craft room. 

My husband bought me a new ironing board

as mine was failing.

So I have a nice new surface to iron up 

fabric that I need for sewing.

There is excitement to delve into

some new projects.

I have plans for aprons and perhaps a quilt.

It's amazing how unpacking 

these things back into the same space

has made it feel all fresh and new.

I hope you are enjoying

your homemaking day.

Perhaps there is some fresh

new excitement to 

create something new for your home? 

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
